However, Corporal Wanda-Lee Jenkins said with the program still being relatively new to the area, the sessions have been hit and miss.

“We haven’t had a lot of interest so far,” she said. “Our aim is to continue to do the sessions to get the word out.”
As in previous session, the meeting encourages people to get involved with the program.

Jenkins said forming a strong Neighbourhood Watch program can have positive implications in deterring crime.

“I think once you see a neighbourhood enrolled in the program, residents will see a difference in crime in the area.”

Jenkins is also looking for a watch commander/president who would be responsible for working directly with block captains and municipal enforcement.
